26、   White chocolate, German chocolate, ice cream: There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world, each beautiful in its own sugary way. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one (hopefully all) of your birthday parties. But in between delicious bites of cake, have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”

It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. Kind of.

The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god.

Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to Artemis, goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. Hence, it is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.

Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th century German celebration “Kinderfeste”. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.

And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. Like modern tradition, the birthday girl or boy wouldn’t tell anyone the wish so it would come true.

Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The origin of birthday cakes. B.The significance of birthday cakes.

C.The history of birthday parties. D.The introduction of cake production.

【2】Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?

A.Germans. B.Pharaohs.

C.Ancient Greeks. D.Ancient Egyptians.

【3】The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.pleasure B.replacement

C.sharing D.suffering

【4】Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?

A.The transport was inconvenient.

B.The ingredients of cakes were expensive.

C.The cake could not be eaten before dinner.

D.The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.

27、How to Trick or Treat

Start trick-or-treat at around 6:00 or 6:30 pm.You’ll probably want to start trick-or-treat as soon as you get home from school,but be patient!Have a good dinner to fuel you up for the night,and wait until the sun starts to get a little lower before you head out.【2】

28、I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"

Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it’s about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don’t know.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ’Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don’t know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don’t know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

29、   When Oliver Sacks, 82, died on Aug 30 at his home in New York City, the world was saddened by the loss of a brilliant neurologist(神经学者) and a truly beautiful mind.

London-born Sacks was most famous for his writing. A Forbes obituary(讣告) calls him “one of the greatest writers of science of the past 50 years. Maybe the greatest.”

In his best-selling 1985 book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks described a man who could not tell the difference between his wife’s face and his hat, because his brain had difficulty telling what he saw.

In 2006, Discover magazine ranked it among the 25 greatest science books of all time, declaring, “Lots of neuroscientists now looking into the mysteries of the human brain cite this book as their greatest inspiration.”

His 1973 book, Awakenings, is about a group of patients who were frozen in a decades-long sleep until Sacks tried a new treatment. The book led to a 1990 movie in which Sacks was acted by Robin Williams. It was nominated(提名) for three Academy Awards.

Another book, An Anthropologist on Mars, published in 1995, described cases like that of a painter who lost his color vision in a car accident but found new creative power in black-and-white images. Sacks also wrote the story of a 50-year-old man who suddenly regained sight after nearly a lifetime of blindness. The experience was a disaster. The man’s brain could not make sense of the visual world. After a full and rich life as a blind person, he became “a very disabled and miserable(悲惨的) sighted man,” Sacks wrote. “When he went blind again, he was rather glad of it.”

Despite the drama and unusual stories, Sacks’ books were not meant to be freak shows. “Oliver Sacks humanizes illness... he writes of body and mind, and from every one of his case studies there shows a feeling of respect for the patient and for the illness,” Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, said in 2001.

When Sacks received the Lewis Thomas Prize for science writing in 2002, the citation(荣誉状) declared, “Sacks presses us to follow him into unknown areas of human experience–and forces us to realize, once there, that we are facing only ourselves.”

【1】The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _____.

A.The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was ranked among the 25 greatest science books

B.Anthropologist on Mars led to a movie in which Sacks was acted by Robin Williams

C.In Awakenings, Sacks recorded a man who regained sight after a lifetime blindness

D.Awakenings is often cited by neuroscientists to prove the mystery of human brain

【2】Why was Sacks called one of the greatest writers of science over the past 50 years?

A.He was born in London and most famous for his writing.

B.He was a brilliant neurologist and had a truly beautiful mind.

C.He received the Lewis Thomas Prize for science writing in 2002.

D.He wrote a series of books, the influence of which was great.

【3】The underlined word “freak” in Para. 7 can be replaced by _____.

A.pure B.common C.unusual D.attractive

【4】The passage is mainly about _____.

A.the awards Oliver Sacks’ won

B.the life experiences of Oliver Sacks

C.the influence of Oliver Sacks’ works

D.the reasons why Oliver Sacks’ succeeded
